Pit Stop: 13th July 2025
Welcome to the First edition of our Slot Car newsletter - Pit Stop
This is the home of all things related to slot cars and slot car racing, including news from Scalextric, NSR, Fly, Slot.It and all the other slot car manufacturers we stock. This dedicated newsletter also contains all the exciting new releases, announcements, and offers as they are announced.
To kick things off, we are going to take you back to the launch of our new website and newsletters. This issue will cover all the slot car-related announcements since then, and that results in a bumper first issue, so without further ado, let's get the green flag flying.
In This Issue:
A new twin pack has been announced.
Experience the high-speed excitement of The Professionals with the Scalextric Twin Car Pack, featuring the iconic Ford Capri MkIII models driven by CI5 agents Bodie and Doyle.
Coming Soon: The Porsche 928s
Visually, the Porsche 928 was a standout. Its design, a bold expression of late 1970s and early 1980s aesthetics, blended sweeping lines with a wide, muscular stance.
Adding a touch of eccentricity to the Porsche 928 story is the unique “Polizei” tribute version—an unmistakable nod to German police vehicles.
